Where Are the Air Bags?

„ 'ULYHUŔV IURQW DLU EDJ

Driver’s and passenger’s front air

bags

Your vehicle is equipped with an

Advanced Supplemental Restraint

System (SRS) and lap/shoulder belts at

both the driver and passenger seating

positions.

The SRS consists of air bags which are

located in the center of the steering

wheel, in the driver’s side lower crash

OCN7030036

pad below the steering wheel column

„ 3DVVHQJHUŔV IURQW DLU EDJ

and the passenger’s side front panel pad

above the glove box.

The air bags are labeled with the letters

“AIR BAG” embossed on the pad covers.

OCN7030038

The purpose of the SRS is to provide the

vehicle’s driver and front passengers with

additional protection than that offered

by the seat belt system alone. The SRS

uses sensors to gather information about

the driver’s and front passenger’s seat

belt usage and impact severity. The seat

belt buckle sensors determine if the

driver and front passenger’s seat belts

are fastened. These sensors provide the

ability to control the SRS deployment

based on whether or not the seat belts

are fastened, and how severe the impact

is. The advanced SRS offers the ability to

control the air bag inflation within two

levels. A first stage level is provided for

moderate-severity impacts. A second

stage level is provided for more severe

impacts. According to the impact

severity, and seat belt usage, the SRS

Control Module (SRSCM) controls the

air bag inflation. Failure to properly

wear seat belts can increase the risk or

severity of injury in an accident.

Side air bags

WARNING

„ )URQW VHDW

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

death from inflating front air bags, take

the following precautions:

WARNING

To reduce the risk of serious injury or

stop can be thrown against the inside of

the vehicle, against other occupants, or

be ejected from the vehicle.

belts. Devices claiming to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the seat

belt can reduce the protection provided

by the seat belt and increase the chance
